*I've saved a couple of bad stripped screws in the last few months with this
method:*
**
*1.  soak for reasonable time with a penetrant*
**
*2.  pound the head with a carefully chosen punch or air hammer.*
**
*3.  cut a screwdriver slit in the head with a small  abrasive disc in a
Dremel.*

*4.  Apply a screwdriver & know you've done all you can do.*
**
*Didn't work?*
**
*5.  Then, having avoided breaking off a very hard broken easy-out, drill
out the screw and retap.*
